Merz makes statement on peace in Ukraine

Friedrich Merz speaks at party congress in Berlin.

The future German Chancellor has spoken out against a peace imposed on Ukraine based on Russian military power.
The head of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and future German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will not accept a peace imposed on Ukraine based on Russian military power. He said this at a party congress in Berlin, Bild reported on Monday, April 28.

“This is incompatible with a dictate of peace or subjugation by military means – especially against the will of Ukraine itself -,” he said.

Merz stressed that Germany and Europe support Ukraine in its defense and expressed hope for continued cooperation with the United States.

As is known, today Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced a ceasefire in the war for three days in May. He did this supposedly for “humanitarian reasons,” but in reality, in order to peacefully hold a military parade on May 9 in Moscow.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry responded that the fire on the front could be stopped now, rather than waiting for May 9 and doing it for the sake of the parade.
